Mary, Mary, quite contrary,
How does your garden grow?
With silver bells and cockle shells,
And pretty maids all in a row.

Hi Laura, Beautiful photos...simple & elegant. I made a recipe from Giada DiLaurentis for Asian Chicken Salad for my MIL's 90th birthday. It was simple, refreshing and delicious! Had Romaine & Napa cabbage, which I had never tried...carrots, red pepper, chicken, toasted slivered almonds and chow mein noodles. I think you can find the recipe on the Food Network site. It was wonderful! *elaine*
I just want you to know that your beautiful posts are inspiring me to step it up on my own posting! :)
Enjoy your evening!

Hmmmm, how about a nice gazpacho?
Hugs,

What is the name of the flowers? I am posting from far away Sri Lanka and have never seen these.
Just goes to show you can capture beauty in the simplest of things.
These pictures are so pretty! Thanks for sharing. I just came back from a week at the ALgarve.. so I am doing laundry, ironing etc.
Enjoy your day, Madelon
Stunning images!
Lst night I made sallad, that was a success with Mr. Temps Perdu;)
Copied from my blog:
I placed 3 different salads (incl. wild rucola/ arugula) on plates, I boiled green asparagus in lots of salt and sugar (I hate asparagus that is tasteless) then cut to smaller bits and let cool (if served in salads I prefer it lukewarm), cherry tomatoes, a few leafs of basil, mozzarella, passionfruit and hot smoked salmon. And a glass of cold white wine.
Enjoy!

Beautifull, beautifull post,

Hugs,Dorthe
Aaaah, those blooms are the prettiest pink. Lovely photographs.
I have a simple recipe for a cold pasta salad. No specific amounts, just to your taste.
Cook shells or rotini pasta, drain & cool
Fry some crab meat or bay scallops to brown. Let them cool.
Sliver some carrots.
Put that in a big bowl.
Then when you put it in individual serving bowls add,
Italian dressing (I use the Good Seasons kind in the package, that you make)
and some fresh parmesan cheese
When sugar snap peas are in season I add those too.

I always love your photos! I have been searching for cool summer salads myself and I made this one the other night: http://www.bhg.com/recipe/relishes/blueberry-corn-salad/
It was super yummy, even the baby ate it! Enjoy!
Laura,
Your pictures stop and make me take a breath and feel some peace on an otherwise frenzied day. Thank you. You are gifted.
I made a cold salad, copied from a store, with pasta, fresh basil, grated lemon rind and a lot of fresh parmesan thrown in. I do not measure. Salt and pepper and it was very easy and quite refreshing and delicious!
Hugs,
Suz
hi laura i love all your photo! thnaks for sharing
I have been making lots of cold salads using pesto. Sometimes with quiona sometimes pasta. Cook the pasta, let it cool, add pesto and whatever else inspires you--like tomatoes, green beans, kalamata olives...It's really nice if you have basil in your garden or can get it from the farmer's market. happy cooking.
Hi Laura..............beautiful pictures!!! happy summer evening.........hugs from me...Ria...
Oh Laura, I've come back to gorgeous summer days as well. Your flowers are just BEAUTIFUL. I love that shade of pink. Having great fun catching up on all your posts - especially the sea glass. Now I'm hunting for the 'art' posts ;-)
Laura,
what kind of flower is this? Is it from a bush?
As always, I like your styling. That should be your new job.....stylist for a magazine!!!
That is if you have free time, since you have to spend so much time helping me with my blog, ha ha.
I learned something though,I know now how to leave a comment, finally!!!!!!!!!
Hugs,
Evi

Hey girlfriend!
Lovin' these pics!!! Sounds like you are having a fun filled summer...I am finishing up the final week of Yaya in its present location and getting ready to move it. So, hopefully the time will come when I can sit back and relax for awhile? ;) xo...deb
The perfect summer salad is to take whatever you find in your fridge, throw it in a bowl and eat it up yum!
Accompany with some crackers, cheese and fresh fruit.
No fuss and not much muss.
My favorite!
